Dismountable anchoring device

Abstract

In an anchoring device to be driven into the ground, important features are that it be dismountable, safe and easy to manipulate. In this invention, the anchoring device is provided with a cross with two sliding members, two rods with pointed ends and a head, the heads being equipped with superposable eyelets that may be padlocked. The eyelets allow the anchoring of an object which one wants to insure the stability of and even its protection against theft. The anchoring device may comprise two angle irons, a first of which allowing the anchoring of a tridimensional object and a second comprising a tube to receive and orientate one of the two members of the cross.

I claim: 
     
       1. A dismountable anchoring device comprising: a first and a second rigid rods, each of said rods comprising a superior end, a middle part and an inferior end, said inferior end intended to be driven into a ground,   a sliding restraining sleeve comprising two first and second tubes placed in the way of a cross, in two superimposed planes, said first tube to receive said first rod and said second tube to receive said second rod, said superior end of each of said rods comprising an eyelet fixed permanently to said superior end, when said inferior ends are in a position of being driven completely into said ground, said inferior ends being fully spread out, thereby said superior ends being in a position next to each other and said eyelets superimposed, said superimposed eyelets providing a common opening for inserting a padlock.   
     
     
       2. The device of claim 1, wherein said tubes are inside a monolithic block comprising two diagonal apertures, placed perpendicularly and in superimposed planes. 
     
     
       3. The device of claim 2, wherein said monolithic block comprises means for tying to a structure, to immobilize said structure. 
     
     
       4. The device of claim 1, wherein said first and second rods comprise a rough surface, for frictionnally engaging into said ground, wherein said superior end is provided with a hammer end for receiving percussion, wherein said middle part comprises means for sliding within said restraining sleeve and said inferior end comprises means for penetrating into said ground so that when said superior end is hammered, said middle part slides through said cross restraining sleeve and said inferior end penetrates into said ground, in a cross, diverging direction, and may not be easily retrieved vertically. 
     
     
       5. The device of claim 4, wherein said second rod, further comprises a safety catch on said inferior end, said safety catch preventing the removal of said rod from said second tube after being inserted. 
     
     
       6. The device of claim 1, wherein said superposed rods carry a pivoting axis passing radially at a cross junction between said rods, and wherein said eyelets of said rods are placed face to face and around an eye axis parallel with said pivoting axis of said rods. 
     
     
       7. The device of claim 6, wherein each of said eyelets has undergone a twisting of 90° in an opposite direction, one to the left, the other to the right, so that said eyelets may be superimposed, so that their apertures coincide. 
     
     
       8. The anchoring device of claim 2 further comprising an adapter to anchor a tridimensional object, said adapter comprising an angle iron having a first side comprising means for fixing to one face of said tridimensional object and a second side joined to one of said tubes. 
     
     
       9. A dismountable anchoring device comprising: a first and second rigid rods to be driven into the ground and   a sliding restraining sleeve (48) to insert said rods crosswise, said restraining sleeve comprising a first tube (42) overhanging a second tube (44), said first and second tubes being firmly fixed together crosswise, said first tube to receive said first rod and said second tube to receive said second rod,   said first rod comprising a superior end to allow percussion, a middle part to allow sliding through said restraining sleeve (48) and an inferior end comprising means for penetrating into said ground, said superior end comprising a first eyelet (40) sufficiently wide to prevent entering into said tube, said first rod being mobile within said first tube, as for said second rod within said second tube, said first eyelet of said first rod comprising means for superposition, at least partly, on said second eyelet of said second rod, superposition of said first and second eyelets creating a single aperture to install means for locking.   
     
     
       10. The device of claim 9 wherein said means for superposition comprise the twisting of said first eyelet counterclockwise and the twisting of said second eyelet clockwise. 
     
     
       11. The device of claim 9 further comprising an adapter to anchor a tridimensional object said adapter comprising an angle iron comprising a first side to be fixed to said tridimensional object, and a second side having means for supporting said sliding restraining sleeve. 
     
     
       12. The device of claim 11 wherein said first side comprises a perforated surface to be fixed to a plane of said tridimensional object, said second side comprising an assembled face and wherein said means for supporting comprise an assembly tube fixed to said assembled face. 
     
     
       13. A dismountable anchoring device comprising a first (20) and second (22) rigid rods to be driven into a strong surface, said device comprising in combination: a sliding restraining sleeve (48), comprising a first (42) and a second (44) tubes to be superposed and positioned crosswise, said first tube (42) to insert said first rod (20) and said second tube (44) to insert said second rod (22), said tubes being firmly tied together,   an adapter (52) comprising an L-shaped angle for tying a tridimensional object to said strong surface, said L-shaped angle having a first face and a second face, said adapter further comprising sliding means for tying to said first tube (42), said sliding means fixed diagonally on said first face of said L, said second face of said L being fixed to said tridimensional object, the insertion of said rods crosswise through said first and second tubes and said strong surface, anchoring said tridimensional object to said strong surface.
